The Assassin
Description
In an ultimate proof of work ethics, a professional killer tries to carry out the most valuable contract job he ever received - despite an accident that wipes his memory clean.
Plans are carefully made for executioner Kyle to fly to Aragona and assassinate its dictator, General Louis Rey Saturnino. However, while traveling to the airport, Kyle’s taxi is hit by a truck. When he regains consciousness, Kyle has no idea who he is or why he has tickets to Aragona. He also doesn’t know—never did, in fact—that his contacts in Aragona have instructions to kill him right after the assassination.
A hitman loses his memory in an accident but still tries to complete the biggest assassination job of his career to prove his dedication to the work.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
